@Nightrunner0007 I think gamespot highlighting the game's strong and weak points at the side through the game emblems is more important than the score. It identifies the more specific attributes a person might/not like.
@CUDGEdave Still the graphics are bloody sweet though. This is what I expected of this generation. As Gamespot identified pretty aptly - Superior Animation, Outstanding Visual Design and Technically Proficient Graphics. Makes a game a ton more enjoyable - and these things don't dictate uber realism, just an excellent quality that ages well with time, like Metroid Prime still has for example.
If there's one thing I HATE in FPSs, it's... VOICE ACTING!! I was liking the visual design and smoothness of the graphics, thinking I might just buy this to enjoy walking through the environments, a bit like Metroid Prime, then I hear some dumbass solider go "BLEERUUGH UGH I'M A SOLDIER THAT HAS A CHEEESE GRATER FOR A THROAT!!!!" ¬_¬ I'll pass
It's simple. If the franchise has to drastically move away from the formula associated with it's greatness, then rename the bloody franchise. Do a spin off like how Metal Gear recently did Rising, or Final Fantasy did Crystal Chronicles, Metroid did Prime, Sonic did Adventure / Shadow the, and in fact even how Dead Space itself did Extraction! It's not rocket science
